Introducing High School Girls<br />
to Engineering<br />
this one-day event allows high-school girls to visit<br />
the science departments of mit, observe cutting-edge<br />
research, see demonstrations in laboratories, and<br />
interact with female engineers. lincoln laboratory<br />
hosts a tour of the facility and, by enabling area<br />
participants to attend the event free of charge, exposes<br />
more girls to careers in engineering. typically, about<br />
20 girls attend the facility tour of working laboratories<br />
such as the laboratory’s Air traffic management lab,<br />
microelectronics lab, and biology labs, discovering the<br />
different ways science and math are used in lincoln<br />
laboratory careers. laboratory staff consider this an<br />
opportune time to give a highly personalized tour, and<br />
allow in-depth question and answer sessions with<br />
female engineers.<br />
